Ferrari V8 bags Best Performance Engine accolade second year running
Posted on 
The 4.5-litre, naturally aspirated V8 engine from Ferrari has won the Best Performance Engine award for the second year running at the 2012 International Engine of the Year Awards
Ferrari’s thoroughbred dry-sump, flat-crank, 90-degree V8 took the honour of the Best Performance Engine of the Year at the 2012 International Engine of the Year Awards for the second consecutive time. The jury for the awards is made of a panel of 35 motoring journalists from various countries using their subjective knowledge, taking into account characteristics such as performance and driveability.
Jean Jacques His, head of Ferrari’s powertrain department said, “Winning both these important titles again in the face of such strong rivals is naturally a real honour, but most importantly it is a testament to the fact that Ferrari’s expertise in engine design is unmatched, not just in terms of technical excellence, but in terms of real-world driving pleasure.” Also Read: Ferrari 458 Italia wins 2011 World Performance Car Award
